The US Indo-Pacific Command condemned the actions of a Chinese pilot in the South China Sea, who they said ‘flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner.
‘The US will continue to fly, sail, and operate – safely and responsibly – wherever international laws allow,’ PACOM said, adding that the US military ‘remains dedicated to a free and open Indo-Pacific region, and we expect all countries in the Indo-Pacific to operate in international airspace safely and in accordance with international law.’ Over the past year, China has been pushing its claim on the South China Sea over strong objections from the US and its neighbors.
